This is the 2009. I'm in love...Floral, citrus notes, talc, and bright floral notes on the nose. Palate is beautiful and creamy with a rich, buttery texture. Meyer lemons and just the start of some butterscotch make this a delicious wine. Sweet spices, guava, and long finish. This wine was clearly made with ripe grapes which gives it tropical fruit notes on the palate, now drinking really well. Note that this wine was a lot less complex when young. It seems to be built to really explode in complexity as it matures.

Incredibly full bodied, oaky, smokey chard. It's like a white wine for red wine lovers. Huge flavor like a fine whisky.
